Book Description

The revival of DeltaRex-G (formerly Rexin-G)—the first proactive tumor-hunting/tumor-killing biomedicine of this kind in history—returned active tumor surveillance and a precision-guided “silver bullet” (dnG1 killer gene) to the cancer clinic with “Expanded Access” in 2019. Empowered by US Right-to-Try legislation, while honoring ethical principles of “informed consent,” this unique graphic/picturesque presentation of clinical and translational medicine is intended for postmodern (post-Enlightenment) layman readers, including cancer patients, students, researchers, and future practitioners in the field of precision gene-based medicine. Confronting logical fallacies in popular opinion, the authors present newsworthy, up-to-date clinical research documenting the successful management of refractory metastatic cancers with tumor-targeted gene therapy vectors—validating “pathotropic” (disease-seeking) tumor targeting avant la lettre.

Book Description

Faces of Sunset Boulevard: A Portrait of Los Angeles is a collection of photographs of the people who live, work, and play in Los Angeles. Some are making fortunes along the route; others are just trying to survive to see another day. Patrick Ecclesine captures the city's dreams, dreamers, and, at times, nightmares using the most famous boulevard in the world as the setting for his photographs. The individuals featured range from the famous (Governor Schwarzenegger, Larry King, Fernando Valenzuela) to the unknown (a street vendor, an undocumented worker, a bus driver) to the unwanted (a homeless man, a single mother on welfare, a drug addict). Other archetypal Angeleno figures--from a television weather-girl sensation to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to surfers in Pacific Palisades to the eccentric and outlandish denizens of the Sunset Strip--stand side by side in these pages, capturing the eclectic nature of the City of Angels and its most colorful thoroughfare, Sunset Boulevard.

When you cuss a dude out on his answering machine then years later, he uses it in a song on his album (one that would become one of the most influential in Rock history). Who cares about royalties when you can write a book about this story and make new friends that can change your life? This autobiography is my latest message to my ex roommates in LA, Gary Helsinger (discoverer of Tool and Jeff Buckley) and tycoon Jerry Phlippeau. Both were Maynard James Keenan's roommates as well. One day, Gary handed Signor Keenan of Tool the original tape with my interlude recorded in 1992. They added it to Ænima (1996) and Salival (2000). Only eighteen years later, I found out. Now, I have wrote the true story of Harry Manback.
